PlayStation 5 Pro 'Project Trinity' Details And Release Date
PS5 Pro is expected late 2024, with the PS6 expected 2028. If Microsoft is to try to keep pace, as someone who doesn't have either console, it will be interesting to see if they also brand this as a mid-generation refresh or if they stick to their guns they've been touting for a while of being "beyond generations".
2028 it is then.
I tried buying the PS5 when it released, and couldn’t get my hands on one for nearly a year. Then I saw the content lagging and decided not to buy the PS5. I still don’t see why I would want a PS5 today. I got a fairly decent PC, so that can carry me for another 5 years or so
If the content cadence for PS5 is not to your tastes, I don't see it getting better in 5 years. Games the size that Sony is making don't get made quickly.
This is the big thing. There's been a few games that have released on PS5 that had me considering buying the console (Ratchet & Clank RA, Returnal, Final Fantasy 16) that have tempted me, but they're all either already on PC or coming in the next 2 years. Why would I buy a console if everything on it is gonna get ported eventually anyways?
A reason I might buy a console used is because certain titles, like Nier Automata, were poorly ported to PC. I love that game, but the Steam version crashed a lot for me.
Without that fan patch, I wasn't able to play at all. But further into the game, it started crashing every 10 - 20 minutes. Think the particular Radeon card I had at the time was poor compatibility. nVidia users might have had more luck.
It's ironic - I was a playstation gamer, but bought a gaming PC figuring I would mostly use it for xbox exclusives after they bought up all those companies before this console gen started. Then it was so impossible to get a PS5 where I live that I got so frustrated I've written off getting one and have started PC gaming exclusively. I'm so fed with Sony and their BS that when a friend asked if I would get a PS5 now that they're somewhat available, I was like, "lol nope."
Meanwhile, not a single thing I'd want to play has come out yet on xbox, which was the whole reason I got a PC to begin with.
